Arriba Nacional is one of the most sought-after varieties for therapeutic use and artisan chocolate making, prized for its complex flavour profile and superior quality. Many retailers claim the purity of their cacao, but mislabelling is widespread. It is essential to choose transparent providers that offer verifiable sourcing and ethical practices. At Pachakuti, we are on the ground, working directly with indigenous associations and ensuring full transparency in our operations, from cultivation to processing, so you can trust the authenticity of every batch.
Health Benefits
Our ceremonial-grade Arriba Nacional cacao is more than just a rich, flavourful drink—it is a natural source of nutrients and bioactive compounds that support overall well-being.
Boosts Mood & Mental Clarity – Rich in theobromine, cacao provides a gentle, sustained energy boost without the crash of caffeine, enhancing focus and mental clarity. It also stimulates serotonin and dopamine production, promoting feelings of joy and emotional balance.
Supports Heart Health – Packed with flavanols, our cacao helps improve circulation, lower blood pressure, and support cardiovascular health by increasing nitric oxide levels in the body.
Enhances Physical & Emotional Wellbeing – With over 300 bioactive compounds, including magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, cacao nourishes the body, relieves stress, and promotes deep relaxation.
Balances the Nervous System – High in magnesium, ceremonial cacao helps ease tension, support muscle function, and regulate the nervous system for a sense of grounded calm.
Supports Spiritual & Mindful Practices – Traditionally used in sacred rituals, cacao enhances meditation, connection, and intention-setting, making it a powerful tool for self-discovery and emotional healing.
We have a dedicated page that explores these benefits in more depth. Discover how cacao can enrich your health and well-being — click here to see how it fits into your daily routine.
